"Edalyn, I need your help."

"Relax, Lily, we just got back from the Knee."

"This I serious... I need you to join this group, by any means necessary."

Lilith opened her eyes and started breathing heavily. She calmed down a little and sat up. She rubbed her head.

"I hate revival potions." She muttered.

Lilith untied the paper from her arm and looked at it. It was a map to the nearest town, along with the location of the place she was being held in.

"According to this map, the closest town is located in Lock Jaw County, which means I'm near the skull." Lilith looked around, "I would say I'm at Eye Socket Caverns, which means if I follow Tooth Decay path, I could get there by nightfall."

Lilith looked at the map and saw an X where Eda left her a bag of supplies. She definitely needs to grab it before she left. Lilith went to the cave Eda marked on the map. Lilith found a bag of supplies, clothes, a cloak, and even her staff. She also found a note.

"To Lily, I got you some of your stuff from that old house of yours, and you call my house a shed, that thing is small." Lilith read, "Anyway, I managed to get you a day's worth of food and water. Hope it's enough."

Lilith got the clothes on, which consisted of an old tattered dress and a shirt with a drained battery symbol on it. Lilith put the cloak on and put the hood up.

"I can't allow anyone to know it's me." She said, looking at her staff, "Sorry, but I need to send you home."

Lilith made her staff disappear and she put the bag over her shoulder. She started walking down the path. She walked for what felt like hours, which probably was the case, by the time she stopped to rest. She leaned against a tree and let the shade cool her off. She pulled out the map and made a guess that she was, at least, at the county border.

"Alright, that means I'm about two miles from the nearest town. If I remember correctly, there should be a Coven Guard Barracks there."

Lilith opened the canteen and took a long swig from it, letting the cool water rejuvenate her exhausted body. She screwed the tap back on and put it in the bag. She got up and went back to walking. At the Owl House, Eda returned and opened the door. She saw Luz on the couch.

"Hey, Kid, did you and King have a good day?" Eda asked.

King was holding his friendship bracelet in the other room while Luz looked pale, almost like she saw a ghost, which could happen seeing as weirder things have happened. Hell, just today she had to kill her sister. Luz looked up at Eda with a vacant look in her eyes.

"I-I-I... I need to go!" Luz said, running up the stairs.

"Geez, you work as a double agent for one day and you miss all the fun."

In the bathroom, Luz was pacing back and forth. Her dad was working with... someone. This entire thing was bringing back memories from... that night. Unpleasant memories. Luz rubbed her back, right where her scar was. She leaned over the sink and closed her eyes. It didn't stop the tears from falling though, much to Luz's disappointment.

"Why him... why?"

Luz stayed in the bathroom until her tears ran out. Near the skull, Lilith had finally made it into town. It wasn't that big, only consisting of less than a thousand people. The only reason Belos was interested in this town was it was close to the teeth. The Enamel Mines hold vital resources that are used in Coven armor and several other important items the Coven uses. Belos pays well for it, which makes the town one of the richest on the Isles. Lilith walked to the Barracks and found a couple of guards.

"Sorry, ma'am only official Coven-"

"Save your breath, Geoffrey." Lilith said.

"Miss Clawthorne? The Coven has been looking everywhere for you."

"I will gladly explain inside." Lilith said, "I also need a way to reach the castle."

"This can all be discussed in the morning. We need to have you checked out by a Healer." Geoffrey said, "We shall send a message to the Emperor immediately."

"Tell him to keep this quiet, I've learned things that cannot be discussed in the open." Lilith said, "As far as my captors are concerned, I'm dead."

"Very well, come, let's get you to a Healer."

Lilith was too tired to argue, who knew that being revied would take so much energy out of her.

"Okay, lead the way." Lilith said.

Lilith was led inside and brought to a Healer. An hour later, Belos received a letter from the Barracks in Lock Jaw County.

"What is it, Uncle?"

"Lilith has been found." Belos said, "She has information and wishes to keep everything quiet until she returns tomorrow. In the meantime, you should go to sleep, I wish to have you practice your Firebending tomorrow."

"Yes, Uncle."
